Letters to the Editor

Remember: We’re the boss

In Thursday’s newspaper on Page 14A, political cartoonist Dana Summers may have humorously and unintentionally added to some confusion by referring to “leadership.”

Media often refer to the ones elected to office as our leaders. They are not. They are our elected public servants. They are put in office to do what we the public tell them to do.

Both the elected group and electors need reminding often. It goes with our being a democratic republic.
